Four helicopter gunships flew off the coast of Somalia, and the pirates watched in amazement. They thought that the government army was coming, and they threw down the speedboat with their heads in their hands and were about to flee. Because it's a gunship, and it's four!

What are Somali pirates most afraid of? The most feared thing is flying in the sky. They went out to sea to kidnap merchant ships using speedboats, not because they didn't want to use helicopters, but no one was willing to sell them helicopters at all. In Somalia, there are very few helicopters, and only those with government troops and GIs are located. If a helicopter appears overhead, they must have called.

It's a pity that the four helicopters loaded with weapons didn't even look at them and flew directly to the sea.

Not long after, a merchant ship sailed to the coastline escorted by four helicopter gunships, and the pirates were at a loss. Instead, they rushed up to kidnap the merchant ship, but they were worried about helicopter gunships. It's flying in the sky, and it's easy for those flying in the sky to hit them.

"Warning! First warning, all the pirates below please leave, or you will be attacked by our air. "A warning sound came from the helicopter.

At the same time, two wheeled armored vehicles rumbled in from the northeast, carrying heavy machine guns and gun barrels, and approached the group of pirates.

Peer? This is also a pirate? Oh my God, where did this pirate come from? Not only helicopter gunships, but also wheeled armored vehicles. They had never heard of a Somali pirate so strong that they could dominate Somalia with these weapons.

Warned of this, the pirates immediately fled without a trace. Although they are also very strong, but in the face of this kind of armed force, the only option is to be grandchildren.

"What's going on? First of all, give me a port as a base, how can I release the ship without a port? Long Xiaoqi jumped down from the wheeled armored car and said to the helicopter by radio: "Hurry up and take down a port as fast as possible." To be a pirate is to have the understanding of being a pirate, which pirate does not have its own port? Hurry up and be professional, okay? ”

A helicopter gunship immediately flew east along the coastline and, having found a port for pirates, began firing missiles from the air.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ……”

One by one, the missiles flew out, instantly blowing up the pirates in the port. It was simply too easy to fight these pirates with absolute air supremacy. In less than ten minutes, Long Xiaoqi successfully captured a port used by pirates to put merchant ships.

With wheeled armored vehicles advancing and helicopter gunships air support, Long Xiaoqi led his men to occupy the pirates' port and tow the merchant ships in.

"Good morning, gentlemen." Long Xiaoqi walked to the merchant ship with a smile on his face, waved at the captain, and said, "We are not professional pirates, maybe the method of kidnapping makes you feel incredible." But I can guarantee that we will become professional pirates, and we will be the best pirates in the Gulf of Aden, there is no one. ”

The captain shrugged his shoulders helplessly, he didn't look scared, because he was an old bird, and the route he took was the Somali sea. He knew the credibility of these pirates, and if they were hijacked, they would have to cooperate. As long as they cooperate, the pirates will definitely let them go after receiving the ransom, and there will be no shortage of cargo on board.

It is precisely because of the credibility that merchant ships will still be taken in this sea area, which is nothing more than paying an extra toll. In general, paying a toll is much smaller than the cost of detouring, which is like an overloaded truck being fined by the road administration all the way, and there is still a profit after the penalty, but if it is not overloaded, then there is no profit.

"Mr. Pirate, I've already called our boss, and he'll pay the ransom in the shortest possible time." The captain said to Long Xiaoqi: "But I hope not to hurt any of our crew, we believe in your credibility." ”

The captain took out his satellite phone and dialed a string of numbers and handed it to Long Xiaoqi, signaling him to talk to the boss.

"Hey, I'm a pirate!" Long Xiaoqi said arrogantly.

"Hello, honorable Mr. Pirate, please give me a card number and I will pay the ransom as is customary." The boss on the phone said politely: "My ship is full of medical equipment, and according to the valuation of my ship and cargo, I will pay you three million dollars." Believe me, dear Mr. Pirate, even if you bring in the most professional appraisers, it won't cost more than three million dollars. If your asking price is too high beyond my bottom line, then I have no choice but to solve the problem in other ways. ”

"Deal!" Long Xiaoqi said happily: "Three million is three million, we have a happy cooperation!" But don't be in a hurry to hang up the phone, your merchant ships are registered in Mexico, and my people have found that you have at least five merchant ships passing through the Gulf of Aden every month. If you don't want to be held hostage for ransom every time, I'll provide you with security. Our prices are very reasonable, with a pay-per-use fee of only $2 million per time, guaranteeing your boat a smooth passage through the Gulf of Aden. Mr. Gale, this is a very good suggestion, maybe you can consider it, but hopefully not for too long. Later my deputy will give you the account number, the money will arrive, and the people will be released immediately. ”

Long Xiaoqi hung up the phone, and his heart was extremely happy. So it's so cool to be a pirate? With $3 million in less than two hours, it's no wonder that these pirates are all rich.

"Boss, the money has arrived." The words were chattering and Long Xiaoqi said.

"It's good to open, let people and boats!" Long Xiaoqi waved his big hand and said loudly: "Continue to rob the next one, this time I will come personally!" ”

Four helicopter gunships immediately took off and continued into the sea in search of the next merchant ship. Long Xiaoqi sat in person this time, wearing a pirate suit and sitting by the helicopter door with a machine gun.

Everything has to be tried, and after one attempt, Long Xiaoqi immediately discovered that the pirate industry can be carried out as a career. Somali pirates have long formed a pirate economic system, which is completely a toll booth. Whoever controls this toll booth will be able to sit here and make a fortune and have no good business.

"See the boat! See the boat! Long Xiaoqi shouted excitedly: "Full speed ahead, rob this merchant ship for me!" ”

Seeing another merchant ship, Long Xiaoqi was so happy that he was about to blow it up. The first time I became a pirate, I made a good start, hijacked two merchant ships in one day, and returned with a full load, isn't this a good start?

"Boss, it's two ships, one of which is a merchant ship and one of them is a missile frigate." The pilot Chong Long Xiaoqi said: "And this frigate ...... It's the frigate of your hometown......"

Hearing this, Long Xiaoqi took out his binoculars and looked at it, and saw a frigate traveling side by side with the merchant ship, with a five-star red flag hanging on it, as if it was ...... 052C-level Chinese Aegis!
